                  K = Nx2
Bond Price =? [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2
                   k=1
                  K =17x2
Bond Price =? [(7*1000/200)/(1 + 6/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 6/200)^17x2
                   k=1
Bond Price = 1105.66

2

                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =7
920 =? [(Coupon rate*1000/100)/(1 + 15/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 15/100)^7
                   k=1
Coupon rate% = 13.08
